Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has led the country for 13 years, was indicted by the country’s top prosecutor on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust on Thursday.Benny Gantz, leader of Blue and White party, speaks at the President’s residence, in Jerusalem, Oct. 23, 2019.Netanyahu found himself unable to form a coalition government in Israeli’s Knesset last September. His chief rival, ex-military chief Benny Gantz, announced he was also unable to form a government on Wednesday.   Knesset lawmakers have less than a month to organize a coalition and select a lawmaker to lead a majority government alongside President Reuven Rivlin, and it is unlikely they will succeed. If no lawmaker can garner 61 seats in the 120 seat legislature, then the country will need to hold elections for the third time this year.”This is a very sad day for the State of Israel,” Gantz tweeted in reaction to the indictment.
